My truck is a 1959 GMC 9314, with the original 235 I6 and 3 speed transmission. Canadian GMC's came with Chevrolet drive trains.I purchased this truck in September 1989, and drove it home two blocks. After tearing apart the brakes I realized I should of towed it as only one wheel cylinder was working. I spent the next six months making the truck road worthy and then I used it as my daily transportation around town. As I was only twenty years old when I purchased the truck, it was parked a couples of times while I attended school. In December of 1995 the engine was removed and rebuiltThe winter of 2002/03 saw the truck disassembled, with the frame painted, the cab repaired, new front fenders and box, repainted and reassembled. This work was being professionally done. The truck is painted 2002 Chevy Truck Pewter, and the bumpers, grill, and headlight doors are chromed. I plan to install a bench seat from a Dakota with built in seat belts ( wife says the truck needs seatbelts if I am taking my boys with me!)I would like to install an original3 speed overdrive transmission in the truck to allow for better highway speeds.

Purchased in West Va. for $800. Been trying to restore but it's been a job, no inside facilities to work, all outside.
The tranny is 5 speed New Process, with split axle rear. Budd wheels with 825 tires. Cab # 1754. Dump truck with big cylinder. Standard steering.
270 engine runs great, still has original governor under carb with seals still unbroken.
Other owner replaced fuel pump with a big block ford pump, 429, 1 think. He also replaced exhaust from same engine.

Original Arizona horse ranch panel truck which was always tucked away in a shed when not in use. Original paint and rubber. the windows were ordered the way they are from the dealer. It has 23000 original miles and lots of life left in her. I will put in highway gears to help her along but the Beast will stay mostly stock.

Truck History:
I bought this truck from a guy in town who bought it while on vacation in Arizona 3 years before. I believe I am the 4th owner, there is evidence of the truck being a farm truck at one time. I have owned the truck since 1996 and have done many improvements to it both mechanical and cosmetic. The truck is a 1959 Wide Side with a short bed, 270 engine with a Hydra-Matic transmission. Painted medium blue with metallic fleck, roof is metallic silver. The engine is slightly modified with a 4 barrel intake and carb, headers and duals has that 50's rod look and sound, great fun to drive.

1959 GMC with a factory installed NAPCO Powr-Pak 4x4 Conversion.
It's a 1/2 ton step-side with a Chevy 283,4-spd, and a standard interior.
I am planning on installing a 270 six-cyl, which it came with orignally.
It was built in Oakland California and later it went to a farm in Bend Oregon.
I plan on driving it to shows and enjoying it as I restore as well.

I got this truck 4 years ago,I saw her on a used car lot, But I got her from the owner, for 3 grand, He got the truck in Missouri, He put Chevy parklight's on Her? And she is a Daily driver, I have used her for work,hunting and fishing, I've not done a lot to this truck, put new tires on her this past summer, 17.5's, new plug, point's, and a new belt, that's all I've had to do to her, She was on www.stovebolt.com, at onetime.

I'm the third owner of my GMC. The GMC was bought in San Diego and has been here the whole time. I bought it in may 2000 for my birthday. I have a custom interior with full headliner and carpet. I put a 4" dropped axle on. power disc brakes. 383 stoker with turbo 400. It's still has it's org. seats, jump seat incl.

Originally a CA truck used to carry a slide in camper.
Brought to WV about 15 years ago, but no resto. Truck had 3/4
Ton axles, maybe some kind of camper special package? Am
restoring with NAPCO 4WD. Need NAPCO wheel cyliners if anyone
has info.

This is the most rare GMC ever built to my knowledge. It is the fleet option 1/2 ton. It was made to be the most inexpensive truck for fleet buyers. There is probably less that known 20 known to still be around today. Most were used up and thrown away. It hard to find some parts for these trucks.
